For this showcase Carlin and Rebecca dig into the origin and beers of one of the newer Vermont breweries causing a buzz in the craft beer industry. Heavily focused on hazy IPAs, but experimenting with so much more, this brewery deserves some attention.

Carlin talks about, and tastes examples of, anniversary beers put out by The Bruery. He also tastes two imperial stouts that sound like they should have great flavor profiles.

As promised, Carlin and Rebecca sat down and recorded a second On The Shelf episode to make up for lost time. This one features a pretty light line-up with three Maryland breweries and one from Pennsylvania.

It’s been quite some time since Carlin and Rebecca grabbed some beers off the shelf of their local liquor store and tore into them for the podcast. This episode is a much-needed return to evaluating four beers available right now, two local and two more widely distributed.

Carlin opens up by talking about The Bruery’s Melange series of beers, which focuses on blending. He then tastes an example of one, along with three other interesting beers. While most please, one really ends up missing the mark.
